Celebrating the New Year

While those who follow the Wheel of the Year typically celebrate "The Witches' New Year" during Samhain, I wanted to throw together this presentation/event to give us all some ideas as we head into 2024!

2024 CALENDAR

Check out this post with a full 2024 astrological (and wheel of the year) calendar!

2024 TAROT CARD

From your favorite tarot deck, pull a “Card of the Year”. This card will be the main “theme”, lesson, or general idea for your 2024!

To dive deeper into the meaning of this card, feel free to use the spread below:

For more ideas, check out this post full of New Years Tarot Spreads!

JOURNALING PROMPTS

What are my “witchy” goals for the upcoming year? What are my “mundane” goals for the upcoming year?

What lessons or events can I reflect on from this year, to make 2024 more productive/better?

Write down one word to describe 2023.

What does 2024 look like for you?

SPELL & RITUAL IDEAS

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

Deep clean your home, taking specific care to sweep dust/debris out of your front and back door. Even better if you move in a counterclockwise fashion throughout your home to banish any negative energies that may be lingering! To bring in “new” ideas, hang up new decorations that align with your new year goals, or add specific herbs that align with your intentions to window sills and the top of door frames. It’s also a great time to refresh any wards or protection symbols you might have around your house!

2024 CHARM BAG

Pull together a few objects that symbolize your new year: sigils, charms, herbs, etc. and throw them together in a charm bag. Keep this bag on your person when the clock strikes 12am! Keep it stashed away, and pull it out whenever you feel the need to have some of that energy with you throughout the new year.

MANIFESTATIONS

Utilize your favorite manifestation methods to bring your goals to fruition! My personal favorites include writing my “wishes” (or goals) on a bay leaf and burning it. However you prefer to manifest certain goals, new years is a great time to do so.

MAKING “NORMAL CELEBRATIONS” MORE WITCHY

If you are going to be around family or friends for new years, there are a handful of things you can make it a bit more witchy for yourself! For example: if you are drinking, don’t forget to pour out a small offering for your deities/God(s). If you have someone to kiss at midnight, and they consent to doing so, perhaps you could both perform some kind of ritual that involves the kiss “activating” the spell – for example, perform a “good luck” working for the new year, and involve the kiss as a part of the ritual!

Whether or not you celebrate the new year, I hope you all have a great holiday season!

Friendly reminder that this post was released 3 days early for my subscribers over on my Patreon! You can become a patron for $2/month and gain access to my unreleased drafts, research notes, early access to posts, and much more! You can also join for free to be notified whenever I post, and keep up-to-date on upcoming projects and announcements!

shadow work journaling prompt of the day 📖🧿

What are you most afraid of people finding out about you ?

32 notes · View notes

breelandwalker · 10 months

Note

Hello! How are you doing? Hope everything is fine.

I saw your post about not being a pick me witch and I felt called in. Could you recommend me podcasts, videos or books that show how to imrpove this part of the practice?

I find myself always comparing and shiting on the religion I was born in, would like to see any work that could help me through this vice.

Thank you!!

(In reference to this post. Recommendation linked below. Personal experience ahead.)

I'll be honest with you - I used to have the same problem. I made that post because I used to BE one of those witches. It took years of self-work and really examining my motivations to be able to move past my trauma and my anger enough to talk about my craft and my beliefs without leaning on the crutch of I Have Beef With The Church.

And for a long time, it WAS a crutch. I WAS going full-speed down the pagan path partly as a fuck-you to my conservative religious relatives and the faith I was raised in, and I leaned into that because the rebellion felt GOOD. Moreover, it was reinforced by some of the books I was reading and certain portions of the online witch community.

But eventually that momentum faltered and I found that once I looked past the anger and the rebellion, I really didn't properly understand what I believed or what I felt. And I noticed the same thing in a lot of the witches I was associating with at the time, who came from similar religious backgrounds and had similar issues. I also started branching out in my research and found some sources that did not rely on the assumption that witchcraft/paganism and Christianity must be diametrically opposed.

So there I was, tired of being angry, stuck in a rut, processing this new information, and wondering how to make a change. And I finally realized that I had to do it myself.

I fully realize and acknowledge that my experience is NOT everyone's experience, and that we all need different things in order to grow, and that some wounds take longer to heal than others. But I do think it's still important to be able to talk about what we believe in without the reasoning behind it being anger or hate.

I don't know of any resources that deal specifically with this issue for witches (I know they must exist, I just can't point to any specific titles), but what really helped me was quantifying my craft. I made a journaling exercise of sitting down and identifying what I knew, what I believed, what I was learning, what I wanted to learn, and what questions I wanted answered. When I found myself straying into that old anger, I was able to consciously correct the trajectory and refocus on my craft.

Dealing with the emotional side of the problem was its' own struggle, but even the exercise of separating my craft from my anger helped me to grow as a person and as a witch, and to get past the roadblocks I hadn't realized I'd put in my own path.

If you'd like to give this a try, I'd recommend it for any witch as a thought exercise, a method for tracking progress, and a way of clarifying those sometimes-nebulous ideas we have about our craft. It's also very satisfying when you think you don't know all that much, then suddenly you find you've filled pages and pages with the things you've already learned and the ideas you have.

Best of luck on this part of your journey and I hope that you find the peace and clarity you're searching for. Self-reflection and self-improvement is an ongoing process and it's not easy, but good on you for making a start. Hope this helps! 💜

New Moon in Scorpio - November 12th/13th

Friendly reminder that this post was released early over on my Patreon! If you enjoy my work and want to support me, you can join my Patreon for as little as $2/month! You'll gain early access to my Tumblr posts, access to exclusive content, digital freebies, access to my research notes, and much more!

With Scorpio being a water sign, we can see a lot of our hidden psyche coming to the forefront during this new moon. This new moon will be very passionate, intimate, and intense, but will ultimately hold a mirror to ourselves and the root of our actions.

Scorpio also rules over power, money, transformation, and rebirth – which are only intensified during this new moon! You may also notice an uptick in anxiety surrounding subjects such as death, betrayal, or feelings of vulnerability.

Crystals:

Black obsidian

Moonstone

Topaz

Green tourmaline

Turquoise

Herbs/Plants:

Black cohosh

Rosemary

Nettle

Wormwood

ACTIVITIES & RITUAL IDEAS

Try mirror scrying for some additional introspection

Write down some of the things weighing you down. Take them to a moving body of water, like a river or stream, and release these items. Alternatively, you may burn the pieces of paper and release the ashes to the wind. Bonus points if you invite friends to join you in this!

Work on a ritual or craft a spell to bring your “shadow side” to the surface before beginning these tarot/journaling prompts.

TAROT CARD PROMPTS

What things feel “out of control” in my life right now?

Is there anything missing in my life?

What do I need to prioritize for myself during this cycle?

JOURNALING PROMPTS

Have you noticed any self-destructive behavior in yourself recently? What do you think is the cause of this behavior?

Is there anything you’ve been procrastinating on because of certain fears? How can conquering these fears better your life? Where did this fear originate?

When was the last time you fully felt free, seen, and accepted around others? What made you feel that way?

Twisted Endings is out now!

This Tangled Blessings expansion adds 16 new, unique, and tragic outcomes for your student character mages at Brackroot Academy.

The endings support both solo and 2-player games! As always, no GM required.

Here's where you can find it on itch!

And here's where you can find it on DriveThruRPG!

What is Tangled Blessings???

Tangled Blessings is a solo journaling or 2-player RPG inspired by dark academia media, ghost stories, and graduate school.

Featuring a wizarding college, wandering specters, assigned houses, curses, devils’ bargains and more supernatural flavor, Tangled Blessings blends horror and the fantastical to help players craft a story that spans their time at the academy — culminating in one final showdown against their academic Rival.

Your Rival can be your best friend, a family member, a stranger, an enemy, a romantic interest or a combination of relations, and they're present in most of your memories at the academy.

How your relationship evolves with your Rival is up to you, but at the end of four years, you’ll still stand against each other in one final test of academic and magical mastery.

The game only requires a deck of tarot cards and a way to record the story.
